Has anyone got any advice on what information to include on a CV when applying for a creative job?

I’ve just graduated with a degree in Illustration and am trying to build a CV to accompany my portfolio. I’m getting a bit stuck with what to write on it as I have no professional experience yet

  • Don’t put a score of well you know software. Because it instantly means I can see what your not good at even though you could probably learn or pick it up so it shoots yourself in the foot.
  • If you've got transferable skills from other jobs that might be worth putting in perhaps. Skills you've got that would be beneficial (I don't know what kind of work you do) but maybe you have experience preparing your artwork for print, or even something like installing cut vinyl? But I think if you're clear you're a graduate the focus will be on your work, so don't worry too much about trying to fill up space.
